It's probably the most scenic of the emirates. The Hazar mountain range runs through it, and eons of flashfloods have cut deep "wadis" though them. The most spectacular of these is Wadi Bih which lies partly in UAE and partly in Oman, where you can go from sealevel to a 1000 meters in a few km. Great for rockclimbing, trekking and camping. Even more scenic is the coastline of the tip of the Mussandam peninsula, just beyond RAK in Oman. There are fjords like in Norway. I personally think Slartibartfast had something to do with it. And hardly anyone goes there. > Actually, I do, but it's in Calcutta. I wonder if those shops even exist > any more. Don't schools in India use these to teach these days? If they still do, there must be shops supplying them. I should be in Bangalore in a couple of weeks - shall try my luck there.
